Diagnosed with ADHD during the pandemic (Scott’s story)

Sometimes ADHD only make sense in retrospect — like when you find
out who the killer is in a murder mystery. During the pandemic,
actor Scott Watson’s trouble with focus hit a tipping point and
made him wonder if he had ADHD. Once he got diagnosed — and after
stumbling across a handy acronym — suddenly he could spot how
ADHD had impacted him his whole life. Host Laura Key talks with
Scott about his executive function skills, ADHD medication, and
the pros and cons of hyperfocus.
